Gattinara 2022 by Travaglini is a classic Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo from one of the most historic and recognizable wineries of the appellation. Grown on volcanic, rocky soils rich in iron, porphyry and granite at the foot of Monte Rosa, it expresses the elegant and mineral side of Nebbiolo: floral notes, red fruit, spice, freshness and refined tannins. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for a long period in large Slavonian oak barrels, this Gattinara combines structure, savoury depth and the distinctive vertical character of northern Piedmont. Travaglini’s official site describes Gattinara as a historic label and emphasizes its floral, mineral and iron-toned profile.
Why Gattinara Matters
In the mid-19th century, Gattinara was considered more prestigious than Barolo. The Italian writer Mario Soldati even dedicated a short story to it, titled “Un sorso di Gattinara.”
Historical documents dating back to 1446 refer to “Vitibus Spanis,” meaning vines of Spanna — the local name for Nebbiolo. This confirms the deep roots of the grape in Alto Piemonte, where volcanic soils and Alpine influence shape a more austere and mineral expression compared to Langhe Nebbiolo.
After a decline in the 1970s, Gattinara experienced a steady revival, culminating in DOCG status in 1990. Today it remains one of Northern Piedmont’s most distinctive and historically significant wines.
